McCoy Russell’s Chinese Patent Prosecution team, including Bo Wang and John Russell, won another revocation of an improper rejection by the Chinese Patent Office in the field of LED load current circuits. Our team led the appeal to the Reexamination Board that obtained a decision revoking all rejections and indicating that the invention was patentable. The case is Chinese Patent Application No. 2013800172232.
